I have an interview conducted with musician David Sylvian in this collection of articles, photography, and illustrations from Canadian spiritual journal Ascent, which I've written for from time to time.  I appreciate the expansive, experimental quality of Ascent, which manages to avoid New Age cliches, academic withdrawal, journalistic irony and many of the other traps waiting for those who want to write about spirituality today.  Sylvian is one of my favorite musicians, and his experimental disk Blemish, which came out a little before this interview was done, is a remarkable piece of work, rigorously unsentimental in its explorations.
